Senryo
San Ma Time
Another seasonal dish is on the way.
For those in Hokkaido, it’s the season
for the delectable sanma fish, renowned
for its sweet, oily flesh. Not planning
a trip to Hokkaido? Restaurant chain
Senryo (various locations including
Shop 3099-3100, IFC Mall, 8 Finance
St., Central, 2234-7633) is getting the
elusive fish delivered from Toyko’s
famous Tsukiji Market straight to your
bellies. September and October are
the best months to enjoy these little
swimmers: Keep your order
simple with
a plate of salt-grilled
sanma, which
only needs to be
accompanied by
a touch of grated
daikon and
a squeeze of fresh
lemon juice.
Mano Overboard
The team behind Sheung Wan’s
Corner Kitchen Café has taken over
what used to be Mano with a new
concept. Jakarta-born American Vivian
Herijanto and Manila-native Shally
Lees are the chefs taking on what’s now
known as Mano Café (G/F, The L Place,
139 Queen’s Rd. Central, 2362-6997),
serving up comforting dishes with
a saucy Southeast Asian twist. Tastylooking
dishes include Balinese crispy
duck with green sambal, Asian-inspired
tacos and an Asian pulled
pork burger. Not feeling
peckish? Mano’s aiming
to be
an all-day concept,
with breakfast
through to happy
hour drinks.
Mak Ming Noodles
★★★★★
Noodles. G/F, 309 Queen’s Rd. West, Sai Ying Pun, 2633-2368.
Mak’s Noodle on Wellington is well
known for its excellent, tiny bowls of
wonton noodles, and we hoped that
this Sai Ying Pun cousin (the chefs had
the same sifu) would have all of the
good with none of the queues—or
stingy portions.
HIT Wonton and pork dumpling
noodles ($36) came simply presented
and in a larger bowl than their Central
cousins, which is already a plus in our
Mano Café
book. The noodles were perfectly al
dente and both wonton and dumplings
were well-sized and full of fresh shrimp.
However, the wrapping on the wontons
was a little thick and doughy in places.
What really surprised us though
was the beef brisket noodles ($34).
Melt-in-your-mouth tender beef came
in an excellent beef broth that was
meaty but subtle, swimming with
spices and mandarin peel for a
delicate, citrus kick.
MISS We were disappointed that
the chili sauce was of the paste variety,
as opposed to Chiu Chow chili. Some
traditions exist for a reason.
BOTTOM LINE Good bowls and
good beef: Between Mak’s and Sister
Wah next door, this stretch of Queen’s
Road West is one mean brisket strip.
Open daily 10:30am-11pm. $
Our Policy
Reviews are based on actual visits to the establishments listed by our super-sneaky team of hungry reviewers, without the knowledge of
the restaurants. Reviews are included at the discretion of the editors and are not paid for by the restaurants. Menus, opening hours and
prices change and should be checked. New restaurants are not reviewed within one month of their opening. Reviews are written from
a typical diner’s perspective. Ratings are awarded in accordance with the type of restaurant reviewed, so the city’s best wonton noodle
stall could earn five stars while a fancy French restaurant could be a one-star disaster.
